Cold peppermint tea gives juicy nectarines a cool, fresh background. Half a banana adds body without masking the stone fruit.

Fruity and cool, juicy nectarine sweetness with a clean mint finish.
Using cooled peppermint tea instead of water adds flavour without sugar. Its cool, clean taste works surprisingly well with the honeyed sweetness of ripe nectarines, a little like a fruit iced tea in thicker form. Nectarines provide vitamin C, bananas potassium and natural sweetness.
Brew the tea ahead so it is completely cold. This smoothie is best in summer, when nectarines are ripe and fragrant, and makes a refreshing afternoon drink.
